The first phase of the project was completed in 2007 and runs from GA 400 to one block south of Piedmont Road at Maple Drive.

The second phase was completed in 2012 and runs from GA 400 to the intersection of Roxboro Road and Peachtree Road.

Additionally, there are two distinct, but integrated, projects along Peachtree Road south of Shadowlawn.

1. Deering Road to Pharr Road

GDOT is the project lead in terms of project management and funding, with support from COA and BCID.

The section from Deering Road to Sheridan Drive is outside of the BCID boundary, but Sheridan Drive to Pharr Road is within the BCID boundary.

This is a repaving and restriping project and not a road-widening project.

The GDOT-preferred plan calls for Deering Road to Peachtree Battle to have a two-way center left turn lane, two lanes of vehicle travel in each direction, and two, four-feet-wide bike lanes (one in each direction) to accommodate the ever increasing cyclist community.

Beginning at Peachtree Battle to Pharr Road, GDOT is proposing to have six lanes (as it is today), but with a two-way center left turn lane, three lanes southbound and two lanes northbound. There will be no bike lanes for this stretch of road.

Streetscape improvements will be pursued separately from the roadway project by the COA with some assistance from the BCID.

2. Pharr Road to Shadowlawn Avenue

BCID will be lead on this project and provide funding, as it lies entirely within the BCID boundaries.

This is a repaving and restriping project and not a road-widening project.

No bike lanes will be added due to the fact that the existing, complex road geometry and other constraints will not allow for a safe option.

The proposed changes to the configuration will be six lanes (as it is today), but with a two-way center left turn lane, three lanes southbound and two lanes northbound.

Streetscape improvements will be pursued separately from the roadway project by the BCID.
